The Welsh Baccalaureate
From 2005 Ysgol Morgan Llwyd became involved in the pilot scheme of the Welsh Baccalaureate, a qualification that amplifies the use of the key skills needed for a job. A pass can mean a lower entrance grade for University - a pass is 120 UCAS points, or an "A" grade. The scheme was a success, so from September 2007 it will be made compulsory for sixth form students in Welsh schools to take the qualification.

Famous quotes containing the word welsh:
“For every nineteenth-century middle-class family that protected its wife and child within the family circle, there was an Irish or a German girl scrubbing floors in that home, a Welsh boy mining coal to keep the home-baked goodies warm, a black girl doing the family laundry, a black mother and child picking cotton to be made into clothes for the family, and a Jewish or an Italian daughter in a sweatshop making “ladies” dresses or artificial flowers for the family to purchase.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
